Tommy, Most linux's will automatically install tomcat for you.
I advise against fedora/red hat as the selinux part is difficult to configure. However it may add some security if you want it. Okay if you need help chosing a linux for tomcat, you should consider the following questions. Would you want to use a graphical console or a text based shell? Is this a production environment? Will you need support from the vendor? What package manager do they use etc. How much of the configuration process are you wanting the OS to do? I think most will set it up and install it as a service. On Ubuntu I found it very easy to install tomcat as a service. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html but I'm confortable editing tomcats configuration by hand. Its really not that difficult to install tomcat yourself though. Regards, Wes On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 10:51 AM, Tommy Pham <tommy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks everyone for your input.
